The Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism has released the legal text which guides the local authorities on propagandizing people to donate small changes logically in public places of worship in 2012.

The text features on requesting the local authorities to step up guiding people to donate money in the appropriate places in pagodas and temples.

People's unmethodical giving of loose cash in pagodas is said to create bad impact on the solemn religious places and the value of Vietnamese monetary unit.

Previously, the State Bank of Vietnam has reflected the reality of slapdash money donation in religious places to the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism.
